HI Cindy,
I have validated a couple of my books over the last year but as a rule I
don't. For example I just finished the Calcium Bomb and it is almost a
pristine copy but I will let Monica validate it since she is really
interested in it. I think it is good two have two people look over a book
before it gets released to the public.
What does make it harder is when a book is scanned and the scanner doesn't
do a once over, spell check, check pages and page numbers. IF we didn't have
people like you Cindy there would be a lot more books getting rejected
because the validator just can't get it into an acceptable form.

And if a book has been sitting on the download list
without being taken for several weeks, I recommend
that the submitter, if he/she is willing to do a
careful job, self-validate. Some books have been
sitting for months and months, and although some of us
take them, I think we are few, and some books will
never get into the collection otherwise.
